Spike Aerators: Loosening Rich Soils for Healthier Turf

Spike aerators use rotating star-tipped discs to slice 2–2.5″ deep—best for loamy, dark soils, not heavy clay. Widths 32–48″ for efficiency. Coring/plug aerators (remove ¾″ plugs to 3″) suit compacted clay better.

Aeration Is Non-Negotiable

Compacted soil (traffic, drought) starves roots of air/water. Grass dies permanently without aeration + reseeding. Spike aerators maintain loose, healthy structure in suitable soils.

Match aerator to soil type. Your turf depends on it.
